I have cwdaemon talk to a microHAM USB Interface II.
I could observe the PTT led flicker at beginning of tune, but the
CW led doesn't turn up at all.
While sending cw messages instead, I can see PTT flicker, and then I
have CW flash normally.
Alt-P from tlf works correctly, toggling PTT on and off.

The rigs themselves don't need PTT to send CW.

Hi Pierfrancesco,

sorry for the long delay. I was a little bit busy here :-)....

In meantime I found the reason for the Tuning function not working at
your side. There is a further bug in cwdaemon which stops activation of
the tune function if your sidetone frequency is set to 0. Please try it.

So we have to find a way to mute the cw output from cwdaemon while
still having the tuning function working.

Thomas, I ve tested this, and setting TONE=1 from within TLF makes tune work. Same as CWTONE=1 from the config file. Looks like a viable workaround to me. Pf
